Doesn't seem all that good, personally. A tire designed with highway use in mind, but only a 45k mile life expectancy? Weren't people getting roughly 100k miles out of the M-55's or whatever they were?

I have heard the nitto's wear quickly and that the toyo open country a/t or m-55 are a better choice

I've got about 15K on mine - Dura Grapples, and they have worn a little more than I had expected. Still.....looking at getting 50-55K out of them though. They have a 60K life expectancy though. According to their website at least.

My terra grapplers make my truck handle like a sports car,something I was'nt expecting.
It kind of made me want to take it up to the SCCA Rally Cross Course and measure the lateral force with a Borrowed G-meter.
However for an E-rated tire that sounds short lived,maybe if they were siped
they would last longer?
